Phentermine
Phentermine is a central nervous system stimulant from the class of phenethylamines, primarily used for short-term support in weight reduction. It acts mainly by releasing norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain, leading to a reduced perception of appetite. The substance has a moderate risk profile, particularly regarding cardiovascular side effects and potential dependence. Due to its mechanism of action, phentermine should only be used under medical supervision.
